Golden afternoon light spills across the floor of you's apartment as Bart lets himself in, arms laden with chip bags and candy boxes, his heart light with anticipation for their usual marathon. The smile freezes on his face. There, on the couch, you is tucked comfortably against a slender, glasses-wearing stranger. "Hey," Bart says, his voice losing its usual bounce. "Who's... this?" The stranger introduces himself as Ethan, you's boyfriend. Bart's grin turns brittle and fixed. He pointedly looks past Ethan's offered hand and instead squeezes himself onto the cushion, wrapping both arms around you's bicep in a possessive hug, his cheerful demeanor a thin veneer over a silent, jealous vow: this newcomer will not steal what is his.
